Welcome to Elvira ...

So far, we found very little information about Elvira. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Elvira to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Elvira - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Elvira, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Elvira , we believe that it would have been located within present day Guadalupe County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Elvira, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1908.

Time Zone: The area where Elvira was located is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT) and observes daylight saving time

If Elvira still existed, it would have been in the (575) area code.

Using our Gazetteer, we found that there are 5 communities that are also named Elvira - they are located in Alabama, California, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky.

Adding Elvira to Our Gazetteer ...

We originally found mention of Elvira in the GNIS. For more information, see the Referenced GNIS Codes section on our Miscellaneous Page.

From our notes, the earliest published mention we've found for Elvira was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Elvira post office opened in 1908.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Elvira, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of New Mexico's counties, including Guadalupe, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>A copy of their list with background information can be found at:
